    At this point, I feel like its gone from “these companies are disgusting kissing up to the orange one” to “if they don’t go, they’re risking being on the receiving end of a massive company ending lawsuit/cancel war from the right and his Orangeness.”

    Both are disappointing and I’d rather go elsewhere, but the second is far more dystopian and probably more reflective of the current state of things.

      Cowardice is a poor excuse when the people in question are ultra powerful, ultra rich, and sheltered from any and all harm from these traits.

      Fuck em. These are trash people.

      Tim Cook gets no brownie points from me for sucking up to 40-whatever-number-he-is.
